But even pride...What's a greater kick to Pride's nuts: having a 17 win instead of a 22 win team, or being canned from your dream job after 2 years? I don't remember Randy Pfund's record as Lakers coach, but I remember he got fired.
Cool site. I played 10 lotteries for each position we may end up, 3,4,5. Here's how they panned out: 3rd: 4,5,1,5,5,4,5,4,2,4 4th: 4,5,5,3,5,7,6,3,1,2 5th: 2,7,6,3,6,6,3,6,5,1 Man, that 6,7 from the 4th position made my stomach churn. Lot's of 4's and 5's from the 3rd spot, which is a total bummer, but at least we don't lose the pick.
I did the sim ten times. Got the 6th pick twice during those sims. I don't like those odds. We need to at least go below minny. At the very least then, I'll feel more comfortable.
I'd only feel comfortable with the worst or second worst record. Anything outside of that still leaves me nervous, especially knowing our luck the past couple seasons.
I ran my own experiment. We ended with: 1, 6, 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 5, 2, 1 6, 5, 6, 1, 2, 5, 1, 1, 5, 6 3, 4, 1, 7, 5, 1, 6, 3, 1, 5 So I ran it 30 times. Here's the odds at the #4 spot for us again for reference: 11.9%, 12.6%, 13.3%, 9.9%, 35.1%, 16%, 1.2% (1-7 respectively). According to the sample: #1- 27% #2- 17% #3- 10% #4- 4% #5- 24% #6- 17% #7- 4% So maybe the system isn't that accurate? Or maybe after another 50 it could even out... HOWEVER! Our odds DO stay at about 82% chance that we keep the pick.
Interesting. I just ran the sim a few times myself. Interesting that we never got the 4th pick. Mine was 5, 2, 3, 1, 3, 5, 3, 3, 2, 6, 2, 5, 5, 1
ORL tanking hard, have Vucevic, Green, Ridnour, and Fournier out for a winnable game against SAC. Not taking any chances, apparently.
Fortunately for us, we'll lose against MEM. for sure. Philly might even win today against Utah. Who knows?
They worry me the most. I had us at 19 wins pre 3 game winning streak, now its 21 -1+2 wins so if you look at the standings Orlando is a danger snd Sacramento Quenss if they loose out..
Magic win but the Lakers putting up a real fight against the Grizzlies... Oh boy. Jazz, Boston, and Pacers winning for whatever that's worth. Denver putting up a big fight against the Spurs as well.
Great job today. We got some breathing room now. Too bad Minny and NY will almost certainly lose tomorrow.
Byron with the sneaky tank back on. Sitting Clarkson right when he's heating up, eh? I see you Byron. I see you.
Great day for the tank! Wish we wouldn't make these games so damn close, but a loss is a loss. We really need MIN to start winning but I'm not sure if it's going to happen with how brutal their schedule is. I'm predicting it comes down to the final 2 games of the season against SAC, which could be really bad with so many Lakers fighting for new contracts.
